Since I am having such a hard time finding the words to describe my stay at Lanserhof, I’ve decided to make a presentaiton of the photos I took while I was there. I believe this is a good representation of what I experienced despite the lost details of describing a Fango pack, energy body therapy, cupping, base powder, bitter water, lymph drainage, stomach treatment, chewing training and craniosacral therapy, I’ll let this speak for itself.

Enjoy!
 

In the meantime, I have just found another video produced by Lanserhof as a sort of commerical. Check this one out too! I believe it’s the same music as “Desperate Housewives” though…or it might be “American Beauty” I can’t figure out which. Not sure what to think of that.

While my intent was to blog about my stay at Lanserhof while I experienced it, I have found myself completely consumed and a tad overwhelmed. In between appointments, I have been either resting or taking the opportunity to enjoy the incredible nature and great company. The resort is perfectly situated with the most breathtaking views of the Tyrolean mountains. It has been an incredible journey in my short stay and I surely have a lot that I want to express about it, but it will have to wait until I’ve had time to take this all in and process it all properly.

 What I can say is that this experience has gone well beyond my expectations and I am now certain that the things I am learning here will be of great benefit for years to come. Until next time, be well and do like they do at Lanserhof and enjoy a cup of herbal tea – caffeine free of course!

 Cheers from Austria and Happy Easter.

Tomorrow I travel to Austria for a one week stay at Lanserhof, a wellness resort I learned about in the magazine Monocle. I am a little nervous but also excited. I have never actually taken a week holiday on my own to a resort before. My husband will be spending the week in a nearby ski resort together with a good friend while I take part in a “clearly structured daily routine” that will be set up for me after my initial consultation.

As part of this experience, I plan to make regular entries about my stay because it something that I want to remember for years to come. I also figure that since there is very limited information about Lanserhof in the online media except the story about how Roman Abramovich went there with his peeps, it may give others insight into an otherwise not that well-known resort.

Until next time, wish me luck as I take a much needed break from the Danish winter weather and gain some new perspectives, input and impressions from the land of Mozart, Kafka, Apfelstrudel and “The Sound of Music.”  

With so many wellness resorts offering a wide variety of treatments to address most any ailment, it’s no surprise that people are going back to the roots to find natural, holistic healing in an effort to de-stress, rejuvenate and renew.

One such resort that is reshaping the concept of wellness is Lanserhof, a resort that has offered “medicine of the future” for the past 22 years. Located in the Austrian Alps just outside of the quaint town of Innsbruck, Lanserhof promises to “cleanse the entire organism and strengthen one’s own self-healing powers,” using both eastern and western traditions. The resort also integrates medical research and works in co-operation with experts of the university hospitals in Innsbruck. What’s special about this place?
